Abstract:
... Successful colonization and growth of trees within herbaceous communities may result from different interactions with the herbaceous community. First, colonizing trees compete against larger, established herbs, while subsequent growth occurs among similarly sized or smaller herbs. This shift from colonization to growth may lead three drivers of community dynamics—nutrients, consumers, and herbaceo ...

Abstract:
... Numerous studies have concluded that forestry Best Management Practices (BMPs) are effective at mitigating erosion and sedimentation caused by forest operations; however, the complex relationship between forestry BMPs and erosion is largely unexamined. In this study, BMP implementation rates, which are percentages ranging from 0 to 100% that indicates how well an operator instituted recommended pr ...

Abstract:
... Spatial functional regression methods allow researchers to model spatially dependent functional random variables, often using a kriging-based interpolation method. However, less effort has been devoted towards the goal of modeling the relationship between a scalar response and a functional covariate throughout a spatial domain. Here, we introduce a method to characterize this association by estima ...

Abstract:
... The application of road salt as a deicing agent is common, but investigations of potential negative effects of salt runoff on stream salamanders have been limited. Additionally, modern stormwater management practices should influence the delivery of salt ions to streams. We used data loggers in streams draining watersheds with and without stormwater management ponds and acute 96-h LC50 tests to in ...

In the US a complete transition to electric vehicles (EVs) would increase demand for carbon-free electricity by around 30% if the future fleet has the same average size, weight and horsepower as current EVs. However, these dimensions for today's EVs are substantially lower than for conventional vehicles, so as EVs replace them, EV's average size, weight and horsepower are likely to increase substa ...
